Motorized pallet jacks are just as numerous and pose the same kinds of hazards that forklifts do

Consequences if they’re misused or not operated properly

Operators need to be trained on the specific type of powered industrial truck they operate. If an operator is trained and certified to operate a forklift it doesn’t mean they’re automatically qualified to operate a motorized pallet jack

Operations and Controls

There are many different models of motorized pallet jacks offered by many different manufacturers

Most common models used in workplaces are “walkie” or “walkie-rider” models

Lift height and weight capacity vary by manufacturer and model but most can lift a load as high as 6 inches off the ground and can carry as much as 8,000 lbs

Operators engaging in horseplay such as riding on a walkie pallet jack

Operators are crushed or even killed by a pallet jack that rolls off the edge of a ramp or loading dock

Safe Operating Procedures

Pre-Use Inspection: The importance of inspecting the pallet jack prior to each use to ensure that any defects are reported and fixed before it is used

Getting a Load: Proper techniques on approaching and securing a load

Traveling with a Load: The “do’s” and “don’ts” when traveling with a load including safe travel heights, proper sight lines, correct hand positions on the controls, negotiating intersections, safe turning, and more

Navigating on ramps and inclines

Maneuvering in tight spaces

Delivering a Load: Safe operating techniques such as coming to a complete stop before lowering the load and making sure the forks are completely lowered before pulling out

Parking: Rules and what steps to follow when parking a pallet jack

End of Shift: Proper procedures for shutting down and storing a pallet jack for the next day’s use
